Over the past five days, the annual Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts took place at Worthy Farm, near Somerset, England. More than 200,000 music fans gathered to hear performances by Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Cyndi Lauper, Idles, Janelle Monáe, and many more artists. The festival wrapped up Monday, and on Tuesday workers and volunteer cleanup crews were tidying the trampled farm grounds. Gathered below are images from this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
